Ed Sheeran just found out you can’t look away from or ignore genocide. On the other side, Massage Parlor Bob Kraft is not exactly the person who should be some saying anything about antisemitism.

I have no fucking idea who this guy Ed is, and I suppose that makes me happy.

This is his worst day since that South Park episode came out. https://media2.giphy.com/media/v1.Y2lkPWE1NzM3M2U1ejZ5eDhsNGltM3NlNnQ5N3lwcHdqaGhwbWN0cHUzYmM3N3BkNTM2MCZlcD12MV9naWZzX3NlYXJjaCZjdD1n/l2SpYgvKTQiAxRemc/200w.webp

Yet another instance where my not liking someone turned out to be justified for reasons I didn’t anticipate.

Is it Ed Sheerans fault I thought it was some corporate dudes fault that has influence over the tour?

Aww.. @teddybearsucide blocked me. Almost like a coward bootlicker would.

His opener Macklemore said “free Gaza” in a public forum, so stadium / venue owners successfully pressured Sheeran to kick him off the tour. Then all the other supporting artists — including Sheeran’s actual backing band — quit in solidarity.

Ahh. Thanks. 😆

Just imagine the timeline where instead of kicking Macklemore off the tour Ed had rerouted to a series of dive bars across the country, and called it the free palestine tour.

I think Sheeran fell prey to the idea that he is as untouchable as the people who tell him what to do and say.
He achieved such recognition and fame, living in a world he didn't understand, being led by people with their own motivations.
And in the end, behind all of that was just a spineless bitch simp for the people who made him.
I hope he and all of those like him are shunned and are forced to see every horror that they've ignored.
OnlyWantToSayOneThing
If he had a pair of balls he would have threatened to cancel all tour dates and open bids with other tour companies. Assholes only get their way when they have money and power hanging over your heads, if you threaten to take their money away theyll fold like a plastic lawnchair under a sumo wrestler.
Teratoid
Exactly
Geeebo
Dude it’s really bad music. Really.
daianaaaa
I was already not listening to Ed Sheeran I don’t know how to extra boycott him

Macklemore has the opportunity to do the funniest thing.

AI isn't an umbrella term for anything digital. That's just a crudely done image editing job.
Sebastopol140
I was referring to the exact same one but made with AI that was posted minutes before that one. (and it 100% was AI, Sheeran didn't even look like Sheeran, more like Chris Pratt, super uncanny).
Yeah a good photoshop job could give great results.

Ah. Did OP swap it out or something?

No, from a different OP.

I mean, if I was accused of something I didn't do and was punished for it, I would be pretty angry.
ProbablyCrazier
That wasn't the argument. The main thing was that someone was trying to say that you can copyright a chord. And Ed was right, if someone was allowed to copyright a chord, the entire music industry collapses. It wouldn't have been just him giving up his career, it would have been millions of artists globally that would be sued for all the money they made on anything with a guitar or a piano, violin etc.
ButtscratchMcPherson
There's an article up on Rolling Stone on how his entire crafted image of being a bland "good/nice guy" set him up for this massive backlash. You can't bill yourself as a generic "nice guy" and then pull cowardly crap like this.
ShadeMeadowsArt
EXACTLY
teddybearsucide
The tour promoters that finance the US tour is Messina Touring Group and they dropped Macklemore not Ed. Damn people
PorneliusHubertII
People aren't mad at Ed for dropping him. People are mad at Ed for choosing to be "Neutral" in the face of a genocide. To be be neutral in a genocide is supporting the genocide
ButtscratchMcPherson
As per Macklemore, Ed told him the threat was to ban the tour from a single stadium if they didn't drop Macklemore. Ed could have easily said "we won't play that stadium."
teddybearsucide
As per Macklemore and rolling stones, Ed shared that the VENUE OWNERS threatened to pull all of Sheeran's upcoming shows if the rapper stayed on the lineup.
ButtscratchMcPherson
Ed shared that is what Kraft claimed to him in a phone call, yes. ONE venue order, with multiple connections to pedophiles, made that claim to Ed. You don't suppose a rapist and pedophile would lie, do you?
teddybearsucide
Fuck you just admitted you were wrong and the only thing you could say is kraft is a pedo and rapist. He could be a pedo and a rapist and also threaten Ed LOL did that never occur to you? Kraft obviously is republican and would 100% cancel Macklemore for saying that so what the fuck don't you understand? A billionaire cancelled Macklemore for going against his political views but you blame Ed who had nothing to do with it. WTF is wrong with people
Sargonas
No, the threat was to ban from multiple. Kraft was the initial domino saying he was going to ban them from his arena, but then Kraft began calling up every other arena owner pressuring them to join him because hes besties with Bibi
ButtscratchMcPherson
Yes, as far as I've read, the only source on that is Kraft telling Sheerhan that he did that and then Sheerhan telling Macklemore.
Sargonas
Yeah but i can see Sheeran's promoters, who handle the money and contracts, saying "yeah we're not rolling those dice" and just pulling the rip cord to be safe
Brainzaps
I never listened to ed sheeran but I disliked him in Apple Music, blocked him in Spotify and blocked/reported him for hate speech in instagram..
CouldntCakeLess
His music fits the overall picture as a cherry on top. My opinion.
Gooooodmoooorrrningmuchwow
Ok im out of the loop. Can you ELI5 why were calling him sheeran?
Einstein9073
President Bush was being informed of a second airplane striking the World Trade center.
Ed sheeran, a musician, said nothing as Macklemore was kicked off of his tour. This is considered bad by many people , since Macklemore was advocating for Palestine.
lizardbones
cause thats his name
wadatahmydamie
It’s his name
bippityboppitybuttsex
Yeah, I have heard his name, could not name a song, so I decided to check him out... and, um, let's just say it is not for me.
Please note, fans of the New England Patriots are the ones who are the most culpable, they made Robert Kraft a multi-billionaire and gave him his influence and power.
MattoJanai
Im not a fan either but I wouldn't blame him. People forget about the hundreds of other employees that work those venues that depend on that concert. His response was shit still. The correct response would have been to cancel and use his millions to set up a fund for the unemployed that lost out. But I don't expect a huge celebrity to figure that out on their own. The real hate should be focused on Kraft, pink, and mostly on Isreal
bippityboppitybuttsex
All he had to do was tell Robert Kraft (Epstein-allied sex predator) that if he wasn't going to allow the concert, he would just find a public venue to perform it. He folded like a cheap suit and showed that he is ok with genocide.
MattoJanai
Well then by that logic none of them should have signed with Kraft and you should be mad at macklemore too. Im not defending sheeran im just saying there's way worse people to be mad at. Everyone needs to stop celebrating celebrities like theyre our moral compass. Thats how we got trump and Regan
bippityboppitybuttsex
I have not celebrated 'celebrities' since I was a child.
What people are upset about is people complying in advance with people who think children being hunted like animals is ok. I have no idea who Ed Sheeran or Macklemore or even Pink is (Other than they are singers whose names I have heard, but I could not name a song they sing.
I am ok with being disgusted with them, I can do that just based on their actions, even in a vacuum.
bippityboppitybuttsex
I will note that I did listen to what Macklemore said, and it was innocuous as fuck. Him being fired for it indicates a zero tolerance policy for dissent from the genocidic ideology of Zionists.
halliemeinecke
He tried to claim being apolitical, but has performed benefit concerts for Ukraine and peformed for the IDF, has posted BLM and pro-LGBT statements, and played Kraft's wedding. He called Kraft, the POS that runs a LITERAL SPY PROGRAM OUT OF GILLETTE STADIUM "super-sweet" and Ed has "always had a lovely relationship with him" (his own words). I'd call Ed a spineless centrist fuck, but it's clear he isn't and he sides with zionism.
bippityboppitybuttsex
You had me hating him at 'played Kraft's wedding'...
Fun Fact, if you are apolitical when kids are being murdered, you are political, on the side of the child murderers.
btgreenone
Dude was a billionaire WAY before he bought the Patriots...ABAB.
bippityboppitybuttsex
I will note that he used Jeffrey Epstein's lawyer to get out of his prostitution charge.
bippityboppitybuttsex
No idea... I just know he got caught with a prostitute near Mar-A-Lago.
A note that he threw so much money at the case that the charges were dropped.
btgreenone
Exactly, so maybe blame the billionaire for just being a horrible person before blaming the people he used to get even richer than he already was.
wadatahmydamie
Sorta like how Linda and Vince McMahon found out that it costs $5,000,000 to traffic little kids, which also gained them a cabinet position
bippityboppitybuttsex
Well, I can at least say that I have never contributed to their wealth.
wadatahmydamie
I don’t think I have, unless they somehow get a cut from Mick Foley’s books
